LED Circuit Board Indicator 5612R5 Equivalent & Substitute Parts

Part Overview

The VCC 5612R5 is a through-hole mounted LED circuit board indicator featuring a single green diffused lens with a rectangle flat-top design. This component operates at 2.3V with a 20mA current rating and delivers 3mcd luminous intensity. The part is classified as obsolete, making identification of compatible substitute components essential for ongoing production and maintenance applications. The 7.30mm x 2.40mm form factor and through-hole mounting configuration define the primary mechanical constraints for substitution.

Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitute identification for the 5612R5 is based on strict alignment of electrical and mechanical parameters. The following criteria establish substitution validity:

Electrical Parameters (Non-negotiable):

• Voltage Rating: 2.3V
• Current Rating: 20mA
• Color: Green
• Configuration: Single

Mechanical Parameters (Non-negotiable):

• Mounting Type: Through Hole
• Lens Style: Rectangle with Flat Top
• Lens Size: Dimensions must accommodate 7.30mm x 2.40mm PCB footprint

Compliance Parameters:

• RoHS3 Compliant status required
• REACH Unaffected status required

The Dialight 5614201055F meets all critical electrical and mechanical substitution criteria. Minor variations in lens size (7.00mm x 2.50mm versus 7.30mm x 2.40mm) and wavelength peak (565nm versus 569nm) remain within acceptable tolerances for green LED circuit board indicators. The substitute maintains identical voltage, current, and mounting specifications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

The Dialight 5614201055F qualifies as a direct substitute for the obsolete VCC 5612R5 based on the following engineering criteria:

Electrical Compatibility: Both components operate at identical voltage (2.3V) and current (20mA) specifications, ensuring circuit-level compatibility without modification to existing designs.

Mechanical Compatibility: Through-hole mounting configuration and rectangle flat-top lens style are identical. Lens dimensions (7.00mm x 2.50mm versus 7.30mm x 2.40mm) represent minor variations that remain within acceptable PCB footprint tolerances for this component category.

Regulatory Compliance: The substitute maintains ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status, satisfying environmental and regulatory requirements equivalent to the original component.

Product Status Justification: The original 5612R5 is classified as obsolete, while the 5614201055F maintains active product status with confirmed inventory availability (2315 pcs), ensuring long-term supply chain viability.

Optical Performance: Peak wavelength variation (565nm versus 569nm) and millicandela rating difference (2.5mcd versus 3mcd) represent minor optical characteristics within acceptable tolerances for green LED circuit board indicator applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Can the Dialight 5614201055F be used as a direct replacement for the VCC 5612R5 without PCB modifications?

A: Yes. Both components share identical voltage (2.3V), current (20mA), mounting type (through-hole), and lens style (rectangle with flat top) specifications. Minor lens dimension variations (7.00mm x 2.50mm versus 7.30mm x 2.40mm) remain within standard PCB footprint tolerances for this component category.

Q: What is the significance of the wavelength difference between 569nm and 565nm?

A: Both wavelengths fall within the green spectrum for LED circuit board indicators. The 4nm difference represents normal manufacturing variation across green LED products and does not affect functional compatibility or visual appearance in circuit board indicator applications.

Q: Does the 2.5mcd rating of the substitute affect brightness performance compared to the 3mcd original?

A: The millicandela rating difference (2.5mcd versus 3mcd) represents a 16.7% reduction in luminous intensity. This variation remains within acceptable tolerances for circuit board indicator applications where relative brightness changes of this magnitude do not typically impact functional performance or user perception.

Q: Are there any compliance or regulatory differences between these components?

A: No. Both components maintain ROHS3 compliance and REACH unaffected status. Regulatory and environmental compliance requirements are equivalent.

Q: Why is the original 5612R5 classified as obsolete?

A: The VCC 5612R5 is listed as obsolete by the manufacturer. The Dialight 5614201055F maintains active product status with confirmed inventory availability, making it the appropriate selection for new designs and ongoing production requirements.

Q: What is the viewing angle specification for the substitute part?

A: The Dialight 5614201055F specifies a 100° viewing angle. The original 5612R5 does not provide a viewing angle specification in available documentation. The 100° specification for the substitute indicates a wide viewing angle suitable for general circuit board indicator applications.
